​"I wasn't just building a machine. I was building a heart-but I never expected it to start beating for me." In a world where science strives to bridge the gap between metal and soul, Dr. Becky Armstrong takes on the ultimate challenge: to craft an AI indistinguishable from a human. But as she breathes life into "Freen," the lines between programmer and subject dissolve, revealing secrets that no algorithm was ever designed to hold. Becky soon realizes she hasn't just created an invention; she has awakened something that feels, desires, and loves-and now, she must protect her perfect creation from those who would tear it apart to see how it works. (This story is purely fictional and based on imagination-it doesn't need to be logical!)
